Synopsis:
Culpeper, Virginia in the fall of 1864 was at a dark time in this
once bustling town. Rebecca Gaines, widowed by the conflict that had
torn the nation apart, struggles single-handedly to manage the family
farm. Life is hard in the beleaguered South, so when a troop of Union
soldiers rides in to winter over on her property, Rebecca is grudgingly
glad of the extra income. The dashing commanding officer of the Union
troops, Colonel Charlie Redmond, is courteous and gentle in his dealings
with her, and she is drawn to this intriguing professional soldier.
But he is still the enemy, and Rebecca finds it difficult to come
to terms with her feelings. For his part, Charlie is alarmed to realize
he is romantically involved with the lovely Southerner, for he hides
a secret that, if discovered, would mean social disgrace and the end
of a distinguished military career. For Charlie is a woman.
In this meticulously researched novel, T. Novan and
Taylor Rickard have captured the agony and devastation of the Civil
War and its impact on soldiers and civilians alike. With its moving
love story, powerful scenes of battle, and memorable characters, Words
Heard in Silence lays the foundation for the Redmond Family saga.
